If only your arms
Held me true again
Our lips and
bodies entwined~
If we could remember
language once shared.
Find our rhythm divine

Yet we have climbed
these ravaged cliffs
Heartbreak Chasm
between~
A fragile bridge
of diminished connect
Crossed only in my dreams

Older now
in this state of suspense
To watch our love fall away~
A tender time for both of us
This loss of each
Precious day

My time
     A fragile illusion...
Time spent with friends
      dissipates quickly.
Time between the 2am phone ringing
and the voice on the other end
- an eternity.
The time invested in
    soccer games
       football practices
          MMORPG in a guild with my sons
priceless.
The time blown trying to believe your incredulous lies
   wasted....
Precious moments of my life
    I can never get back!

I can't give my heart
It is shielded with walls
      Towering    
          impenetrable.
Protected with foundations
       bottomless
            substantial.
Fortified by the scars
   left by those
Incapable of being
    trusted.
Unworthy
         deceitful
             thieves!
Who consume hearts
      in feeble attempts
           to become human....

Stay busy
assiduous.
Gym- work- dogs
cutting the lawn
pulling weeds
research-
volunteer at the
community theater...
anything and
everything.
Fill every waking moment.
That way
I have no time to think
about you....
If only dreams
were as easily
manipulated!
